The frame is strong and can take in a lot of hard hitting from the surface.
The long travel of 120mm was more than sufficient to make sure the bumps on the trails are not fully transitioned onto the rider.
The Shimano Altus/Acera 24-Speed combination of gears was smooth in operation.
These brakes are as powerful as it can get on a cross-county specific trail bicycle.
The Trax 27.5” MTB tires had bulky treads that are evenly spread out.

Polygon is an International bicycle brand originating from Indonesia with its headquarters in Europe now. They have been in the industry for a long time now and are known for performance-focused bicycles with a competitive price tag. We got to review the Polygon Premier Four 27.5” (2018) and here is what we thought.
A well spec’d hard tail MTB built for leisure trail rides and single track trail races.
The Premier 4 27.5” has an ALX Alloy frame. ALX stands for Alloy Cross Country, which means this frame is designed for cross-country ride usage. The frame is strong and can take in a lot of hard hitting from the surface. But it are also lightweight when it comes to MTB standards.
The Suntour XCM front suspension fork on this bicycle was smooth and the long travel of 120mm was more than sufficient to make sure the bumps on the trails are not fully transitioned onto the rider.
This hardtail alloy frame comes in 4 different frame sizes
The Premier 4 27.5” which I test rode came in a full black frame with brown and turquoise blue graphics. The matte finish paint job is of top quality and blends the colours used in a neat manner. The slanting top tube and the long straight handlebar makes this bicycle look longer and sleeker in design. The colour coded rims and fork along with bulky treads on the tire makes this MTB score high in the aesthetic department.
The Premier 4 27.5” (2018) comes in just this 1 colour variant; Matte Black with Brown and Turquoise graphics
This hardtail MTB from Polygon comes equipped with Shimano Altus at the front and Shimano Acera at the rear as derailleurs. These are mid-level MTB specific componentry from Shimano and they performed well during the test ride. Quick shifts of up and down were smooth and did not have any lags. The 3x8-Speed combination with Shimano ST-EF505 shifters made sure that there was enough range of gears for climbs and acceleration.

The Tektro HD-M275 Hydraulic Disc Brakes handled the stopping power on the Premier 4 27.5” (2018). These brakes are as powerful as it can get on a cross-county specific trail bicycle. During the test ride these brakes were balanced and powerful enough to bring the bicycle to a safe but quick halt.
The 760mm Entity branded handlebar was lengthy and not the most comfortable if you are looking to commute with it. But they are perfectly suited for trail races on single tracks with up’s and downs.

This hardtail MTB rolls on a pair of Trax 27.5” x 2.25” tires. These tires are heavily treaded with bulky treads, which cover the tires evenly. This makes sure even fast cornering is safe on wet trails. The Entity MTB saddle is perfectly designed to make sure the rider is safe and sore free on a bumpy ride.
